Skadden represented XTO Energy, the settlor of a publicly traded royalty trust, in a derivative action where the unitholder claimed the ability to sue XTO despite the refusal of the trustee to initiate litigation against XTO.

Skadden is representing First Eagle Investment Management, LLC in its $4 billion majority long-term investment by private equity funds managed by the Blackstone Group L.P. and Corsair Capital LLC as well as clients of the two firms.

Skadden is advising Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc. and Valeant Europe B.V. on the acquisition of Mercury (Cayman) Holdings, the holding company of Egypt's Amoun Pharmaceutical Company S.A.E.

On behalf of more than 200 Indian welders and pipefitters, Skadden — in a historic collaboration with nearly a dozen of the nation's top law firms and civil rights organizations — brokered a settlement with Signal International, Inc. on July 12 as part of its filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
